And what constitutes the sanction of this admirable system ? An army of three hun dred thousand men, disciplined to passive obedience ! It is fancied that the rational devotedness of the Na tional Guard may be dispensed with if the barracks are only filled with soldiers : and, consequently, resort is had to the military occupation of the great cities of the country ; the discontented population is made sub ject to military law ; and sometimes it is found neces sary to fight against insurgents for the space of a whole week together ; but if the spirit of insubordina tion works its way among the regiments of the army, what, then, becomes of the ultimo ratio of the doc trinaire system ? Has not the Gazette some cause to say, in its scriptural style, that the staff on which it leaned has pricked its hand ?

This same newspaper informs us that a great number of in dividuals belonging to the lower classes assembled at the exterior wall of the barrack of the Finckmart, and raised the cry of Vive l'Empereur.' The soldiers discharged their muskets in the air, in order to intimi date these shouters. As soon as the Prince was ar rested, all was over. The Courrier du Bas Rhin, a liberal print, confines itself to the statement that not a single bourgeois took the slightest part in the mili tary proceedings of the adherents of Prince Louis. What strikes us as extremely remarkable in all these accounts is, that no mention is made of the National Guard and the municipal authorities, so that it might be imagined we were living under a strictly absolute regime. The only actors who appear in the affair are a Prefect, a General, and some military insurgents, which was the case in 1812, in the }Valet conspiracy." France cannot but feel the full force of language so powerful—of a political criticism so profound as this. The Government cannot affect unconcern when the truth is thus brought home to it—when it beholds how completely it has failed in its darling projects, and that both its designs and its dangers no longer admit of concealment.

MEETING OF PARLIAMENT. kWe understand that it is the present intention of inisters to summon Parliament to meet for the de -I,ls)atch o f b us i ness in the second week in January. R etrenchm en t in several departments, and extensive Iteforms, are in progress. Th e F, _much Journals of Thursday contain an ac etount of an attempt e d i nsurrect i on at Vendome, simul faneously w i t h t h e movement at Strasburg, which w as the re p resse d w i t h out, i n any way, interrupting re tra nqu i ll i ty of the town. The hero of this second nturr ectionary movement is named BRIJYANT, and was a e bri ga di er o f t h e 4 t h squa d ron. His principal ce'll)plice was a h ussar name d TIRE RY. A ccor di ng f o °le Government o rgan th ese men , at t h e h ead of 4014rteen hussars, and a number of persons whose share yet un k nown , were to para d e t h estreets on the 't of the 30th, and at an appointed place were to a an d to hor se , se i ze t h e m ili tary posts , arrest the luthorities, and proclaim a Republic. Th e Li eute - A: 4 44 t-Col one l o f the Regiment had early information of Plot, and instantly ordered the arrest of the princi- C e wlspirators.

This is the Ministerial account of the affair, and at Ace Sent w e are without any other. The conclusion St ant t o be drawn from it is, that the conspirators of tat tas hovg knew nothing of the designs of the conspi faetrB of Vendome.

We have no direct accounts from Bilboa this morn- ing, so that we are left to depend upon the Correspon dents of Paris Journals, respecting the state of the siege, which does not appear to have been raised, as reported by the Moniteur. On the 26th, General ESPARTERO entered Vittoria, whence he sent an officer to apprise the garrison of Bilboa that he would appear before the town on the 29th. At the same time, Lord JOHN HAY signified to the garrison of San Sebastian that his orders were to prevent, at all hazards, the capture of Bilboa by the Carlists. Ne vertheless, the town appears to have been in great danger, if we can place reliance upon the following ac count, which we copy from a Paris Contemporary : If we maj judge by our letters from Bayonne of October 29, it was high time that Espartero should make a movement for the relief of Bilboa : " The siege of Bilboa is advancing beyond the hopes of the Carlists. I had announced to you that on the 25th bombs had been thrown into the town from the battery of Begona. On the 26th Fort Mallona was attacked arid takes in the course of the day, with all its artillery, which was immediately turned against another fort in the convent of St. Augustin. This fort was likewise taken at nightfall, with the loss of only 37 soldiers, and of a Portuguese General named Coello, who was present as an amateur. " On the 27th the town was summoned to surrender, and on the refusal of the Governor the whole Carlist army desired to attempt to storm the place, so that it was necessary to draw lots between the 2d battalion of Guipuscoa, the Ist of Castillo, and the Algerines. The lot fell on the last, to be the first to storm. These Algerines are those who were dis peed at being so ill-treated in the service of Isabella, and have gone into the service of the Pretender ; there are very few Frenchmen among them. These Algerines, as they aro called, but who arc Italians, Poles, Germans, &c., are about 600 before Bilboa, and 400 at Estella, who will soon form a second battalion, for the desertion continues. If it had been thought proper to employ Englishmen, whole regiments of them might be had. " The Carlist General Montenegro was slightly wounded in the arm at the taking of Fort Mallona. " The French Consul having asked permission to leave the town by sea, accompanied by seven persons, the permission has been refused him by Villareal, who has invited him to depart alone, offering him an escort." We have seen in the above letter from Bayonne how many recruits Don Carlos has gained by the state of destitution in which the Government of Isabella left the Algerine Legion. A letter from St. Jean-Pied-de-Port, published by the ..47e morial des Pyrenees, says on this subject :—" The Foreign Legion seems to be on the eve of its dissolution. About a fortnight ago a Polish squadron of 150 men, which was sent out to reconnoitre in the environs of Puente, went over to the Carlists, after having disarmed the officer in command, who returned alone on foot." Two hundred French soldiers and subalterns withdrew, with their discharge, in detachments of fifty men. The first arrives here to-day, and the others will follow day by day. Twelve French officers, who have also left the Legion, ar rived here to-day. If we may believe them, nova of their comrades will remain with it.—Journal du Cummerce,Nor. 23. The above confirms all that we stated yesterday res pecting the French Government's duplicity in the af fair of disbanding the Foreign Legion at Pau. The officers and men went over to Don CARLOS " in de tachments of fifty." Such are the very words I Well may the Queen of SPAIN charge LOUIS PHILIPPE with an abandonment of the Quadruple Alliance. The men enlisted at Pau were invited to enter the French service by enrolling their names in regular re giments. They preferred desertio n , and the service of Don CARLOS. Why ? The French Government can best answer that question. Even in desertion the men were not free agents. A telegraphic despatch from B ayonne announced ;o the French Government, that the Cortes had con- THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 183 firmed the sole regency of Queen CHRISTINA during the minority of ISABELLA 11. M. THIERS arrived in Paris on Wednesday. A Morning Contemporary is exceedingly puzzled to discover what his MAJESTY'S Ministers mean to do in the ensuing Session of Parliament. He seems be wildered and lost in the uncertainty of his own con jectures, to a degree that it is almost painful to contem plate. We really pity the poor gentleman who is sub jected to this very unpleasant disturbance of his mental equilibrium, and shall be happy, as far as it is in our power, to assist him in restoring it. Our Contemporary, in the outset, brings it as a charge against Ministers, that " they hardly have known to which party they belonged." Admitting this to be true, it is only saying that the Government of the country is conducted by men, who place the in terests of that country far above all party considera tions. Can there be higher praise than this ? Can any statesman make a prouder appeal to a nation than by saying, " I belong to no party ; I am ac tuated solely by a desire to promote the public welfare ; that, and not the ignis fatuus of party, is the light that guides my steps ?" Assuredly he cannot. But how strongly does the Tory Journalist condemn himself in thus attempting to condemn Ministers ? How completely does he give the lie to his almost daily assertion that the measures of the MELBOURNE Administration are altogether of a party complexion, and that in fact their whole conduct is characterised by a sacrifice of their real opinions to party views and objects ! Here is a fine specimen of Tory candour and Tory consistency! It appears to be a favourite notion with our Contem- porary, that there is a fatal disunion between the dif ferent classes of Reformers, and upon this he builds a _fine superstructure of hope for the Tories. Let him not deceive himself and his readers on this important point. We would remind him that this delusion is not altogether a novelty in the history of his party. If our memory do not deceive us, Sir ROBERT PEEL confessed that his acceptance of office, somewhere about two years ago, was bot tomed entirely on the belief that there was a fatal dis union among the Reformers ; and that but for his con viction that their differences were irreconcileable, he would not have been justified in assuming the reins of Government. Now we assure our Contemporary that the differences which now exist between Reformers of va rious classes, or rather shades, are not nearly so great as those which existed in 1834; and that Reformers will forget all their disputes about greater or less, and unite heart and hand, rather than tolerate the nuisance of a Tory Government even for a month. The dis satisfaction which has been expressed by the more sanguine among the Reformers with the policy of the MELBOURNE Cabinet, arises from no distrust of their sincerity in the great cause of Reform, but from their CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) IN RE BOLDEN, A SUPPOSED LUNATIC. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morning in this case, which came before the Court upon a petition, praying the Court to quash the finding of the Jury, upon an inquisition to inquire into the state of mind of a per son named Bolden, residing near Birmingham ; and also praying for a new Commission to issue. The Jury appointed to try the state of mind of Mr. Bolden, after hearing a vast body of evidence, came to the conclu sion that Mr. Bolden was not of unsound mind, and the object of the petition was to upset that finding. The Lord Chancellor, in giving judgment, said that it was important, independent of the case made before the Jury, to see what the affidavits disclosed as to the state of tile party against whom the application was made. He did not pay much attention to the affidavits of servants, but those of the medical men who had attended Mr. Bolden were most material. Now, looking to the affidavits made in support of the Commission, his Lordship did not find the affidavit of any medical man speaking to the present in. sanity of Mr. Bolden ; but, on the other side, there were the affidavits of Mr. Jones, a surgeon, and those of Drs. John and James Johnstone, physicians of the first eminence in Birmingham, stating in distinct terms that Mr. Bolden was in a sound state of mind, though he was subject, after excessive drinking (to which he was unfortunately addicted), to great excitement and occasional aberrations ; and also stating, that if strong liquors were kept from Mr. Bolden, they should have no hesitation in signing a certificate to that effect. Under these circumstances, his Lordship felt himself bound to dismiss the petition, but he would do so without costs. EDWARDS V. THE GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY. His LORDSHIP also gave judgment in this case, which was an appeal from the decision of his Honour the Vice- Chancellor, granting an injunction restraining the defendants, the Grand Junction Railway Company, from erecting any bridge or viaduct on their works near Warrington, of a less width than the road. His Lordship thought the decision of the Vice-Chancellor a very proper one, and refused the motion to dissolve injunction with costs. not proceeding fast enough, without perhaps making sufficient allowance for the obstacles which have been thrown in their way by that national incubus, the House of Lords. But a calm consideration of what Ministers have done—a dispassionate estimate of the benefits which they have conferred on the nation by the measures even of the last Session, much as they have been decried—will, we are satisfied, show that Ministers 'lave done all that in their circumstances it was possible "or men to do. The Journalist to whom we have alluded thinks that Ministers " must take a more decided course than they have taken." If the country calls upon them, and enables them to do so, they will ; and the result may perhaps not be quite so gratifying to the Tory faction as their organs imagine. It does not by any means follow, as our Contemporary argues, that, if they do this, they must go too far for their own safety. They will go just as far as the public voice summons them, and no farther. They have given the Lords a fair trial before the country, and that trial has proved beyond all doubt where the obstruc tion to Reform lies. It is not improbable that an other attempt may be made to bring them to reason if this should fail, and the Peers should still persist in their determination to refuse justice to Ireland, Ali- nisters will appeal to the country, and we shall then see the fallacy of all those silly boastings about re action, which have been so loudly put forth by the Tories.

WEDDERBURN V. WEDDERBURN.-JUDGKENT. In this case, which was a suit instituted by the children of the late Sir David Webster, claiming to participate in the profits of the partnership of Webster and Wedderburn, merchants of Leadenhall-street, since the death of their father, his Lordship the Master of the Rolls decreed that the plaintiffs were entitled to a share of the profits of the partnership since the year 1801, and directed a reference to the Master for the purpose of taking an account of those profits. LEMAN V. BLACKMORE. The MASTER of the ROLLS then proceeded to hear the remainder of the exceptions in this case, which was part heard yesterday. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The VICE-CHANCELLOR proceeded to-day with the re maining cause petitions, but nothing of any interest was involved in them. KING'S BENCII.-(THIS DAY.) DENBIGH V. FULLER. Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS moved in this case, by leave of the Learned Judge, for a rule to show cause why a non suit should not be entered ; or, supposing the point of law on which he moved was found insufficient, for a new trial, on the ground of the damages being excessive. It was an action for a breach of promise of marriage, tried at Lewes, before Mr. Justice GASELEE, in whi c h a verdict • •-•• • v• was had for the plaintiff, damages '2.50/. The declara tion was in the usual terms of a mutual promise to marry, and the plea was, first the general issue, and secondly, that the plaintiff did not promise to marry the defendant. The parties were in a humble station of life, the .father of the young woman being a la bouring farmer. Fuller, the defendant was the so❑ of a small farmer, who had raised some money to put his son into a farm for himself, and for which he had promised to advance 5001. The young woman was known to the de fendant, from the circumstance of her sister being in his service. The plaintiff was thirty-four years of age, and the young man twenty-two ; and although he (Mr. Sergeant Andrews) could not get out at the trial certain facts to establish the point, there was good reason to believe that the plaintiff had not behaved herself in the most correct manner. The plaintiff's sister having left the defendant's service, the plaintiff came there as servant in her stead, and it was alleged that then the promise in question was given. A paper signed by the defendant was put in at the trial, which ran thus :—" I promise to marry Eliza Den bigh, or pay her 5001.—J. J. FULLER." The brother and the sister of the plaintiff afterwards called upon the defend ant, to know why the promise had not been fulfilled, and the reply was—" She knows why Ido not fulfill it." The Learned Counsel contended that, inasmuch as the promise to marry on the part of the plaintiff had not been proved, the plea of a mutual promise could not be sustained, and on that ground he was entitled to a nonsuit. If that was insufficient, then, taking the humble station in life of the parties into consideration, the damage must be admitted to be excessive, and he was, on that ground, entitled to a new trial. Lord DENMAN—It appears to me that both the issues have be©n proved, for it was proved that the defendant had promised, and the conduct of the plaintiff's brother and sister, and her own conduct, sufficiently led to the inference, that that promise had been given in consideration of one on . her part. There is, therefore, in my opinion, no ground for a nonsuit. With regard to excessive damages, it is our duty to see that the party does not recover more than they are entitled to. Of that, however, the Jury ought to be the best judge, as the situation in life of both parties is laid before them. If the plaintiff is so much superior to the defendant in point of age, then so much the greater is her loss ; and, as she appears to have established her case, there seems to me no ground for disturbing the verdict. Mr. Justice PATTESON expressed himself of the same opinion.—Rule refused. POTSI V. SHIPTON AND ANOTHER. Mr. Sergeant AITCHERLEY moved in this case, by leave of the Learned Judge, for a rule to shew cause why the verdict for the plaintiff should not be set aside, and a nonsuit entered. It was an action on the case tried at Liverpool, before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE. The action was brought by an Italian residing there, and the declaration stated the delivery to the defendants of a certain box or package con taining a looking-glass, to be conveyed by them from Liver pool to Birmingham, for a certain reasonable reward in that behalf. It was an action on the case founded substantially upon a contract between plaintiff and the two defendants. On the trial it appeared that one of the defendants had no thing to do with the matter, and the verdict was for him. The Learned Counsel proceeded to contend that where the cause of action is a contract between two parties, all the in cidents and averments must follow, otherwise the action cannot be maintained. In the present case the plea in the declaration was negatived by the fact of one of the defen dants having no connexion with the business. Several au thorities were cited in support of this view of the case. Lord DENMAN—In what did the negligence consist ? Mr. Sergeant AITCHERLY—The negligence was alleged to be this—that the looking-glass was delivered to a person said to be the agent of the defendants, having boats plying upon a canal between Liverpool and Birmingham, and that while on its way from the former to the latter place, it re ceived an injury by which the glass was broken. COURT—Take a rule. LILLY V. PRICE-LIBEL. Sir W. FoLLETT moved in this case for a rule to show cause why the verdict for the defendant should not be set asidc,and a new trial had, on the ground of misdirection. It was an action for libel, brought by Sir John Scott against an attorney named Price, and was tried before Lord Denman at the sittings after last term. The question was whether a cer tain letter, which constituted the alleged libel, could be con sidered a confidential communication, and it appeared to him (Sir W. Follett) that it was written under such cir cumstances as deprived it of its confidential character. Lord DENMAN—What did I leave to the Jury ? Sir W. F OLLETT—Nothing, my Lord. Sir Frederick Pollock was addressing- the Jury when you interrupted him, and said it struck you that it was a confidential com munication, and if the Jury thought so they would find for the defendant. The libel, which was written by the de fendant to the wife of one of his clients, was then read, and the Learned Counsel proceeded to contend, that under the new rules all words reflecting on the character of another, being prima facie a wrongful doing, if to be justi fied should be pleaded specially, which had not been done in the. present case. The COURT took time to consider the arguments of Counsel.—Judgment deferred. BAIL COURT. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE heard motions in this Court this morning. THE TURF.—.WHITEHEAD, GENT. 6. COLEMAN. Mr. WILSON applied to the Court for a rule to show cause why the proceedings in this cause should not he set aside, with costs. It appeared from the affidavits on which the motion was grounded, that the plaintiff had commenced two suits, although, if any there were, there was but one cause of action. The facts as alleged in the declaration were these :—On the 20th of August, 1834, the defendant entered two horses to run for the same plate at the Newport races, in Buckinghamshire. In Pn° action, it was alleged that a horse called Turfcutter was the second horse entered, and the action was to recover the value of that horse, viz. 300/. In the other action, it was alleged that a mare called Amadon was the second entered, and the action was brought to recover the amount of her value, 2001. The Court would see by this that there was but one ground of action, if there were any ground at all, which the defendant by no means admitted, although the plaintiff chose to llring two actions, alleging in the first that Turfeutter was the last horse entered, and in the other that Amadon was. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE—Why do you not plead an abatement that but one ground of action exists ? Mr. WILSON—We cannot do that, as it is impossible to say which action was commenced first, the process in each being served at the same time. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE—YOU may take your rule to show cause why the proceedings should not be set aside, with costs. DOING PENANCE.-Mr. SEWELL applied to the Court for a writ of habeas corpus, directed to the Governor of ll chester Gaol, commanding him to take the body of Gowell before the Ecclesiastical Court, at Wells, in Sornersetshire, in order that he might do penance before that Court, or abide such order as that Court might make respecting him. The facts were briefly these :—A person named Norman commenced a suit in the Ecclesiastical Court at Wells against the defendant, and the latter was ordered by that Court to do penance. This he refused to do, and havinx been declared in contempt, a writ of attachment was issued from the Court of Chancery, under which he was arrested, and conveyed to the above gaol, for contempt of the orders of the Ecclesiastical Court. He (Gowell) was now anxious to purge himself of that contempt, and had instructed him (Mr. Sewell) to apply to that Court for a writ of habeas corpus, to take him from Ilchester gaol to Wells, to enable him to do so, he having no means of purging himself, of the said contempt, unless the Court would grant the present application. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE-1. don't see how I can inter fere, as he is not in custody under process issued from this Court. Mr. SEWELL—The process issued from the Court of Chancery, but it is enrolled in this Court, and that I sub mit gives your Lordship jurisdiction. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE—Supposing I grant a habeas, it must direct that he be brought here, and I should like to know what you will do with him when you have got him here P—( A laugh.) Mr. SEwELL—Your Lordship can send him to Wells. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE—I don't BCC my way very clearly, and would rather that you made your application to the full Court. Some other motion: were disposed of, of no public interest COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) LORD V. WARDELL. Mr. Sergeant WILDE moved for ; rule to show cause why the verdict in this case should not be set aside, and a new trial granted, on the ground of misdirection on the part of the Judge (Mr. Justice PARKE) in his summing up to the Jury, and that the verdict was against evidence. The rule was granted. MELLIN V. TAYLOR. Mr. CRESWELL said that in this case, which had been tried at the last York Assizes, a verdict had been given for the plaintiff, with 1,0001. damages, and he was instructed to move for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial had, on the ground that the verdict was against evidence. It would doubtless be re membered that this case had been tried before Baron Parke, on a rule for a new trial granted by this Court. He op posed the granting a rule for a new trial, and amongst other topics, urged, that undoubtedly the defendant would not meet with a fair trial. The case had been tried before at York, and a verdict was given for the defendant, and if their Lordships would examine the evidence, and draw a comparison between the case as proved at the second and at the first trial, they would be satisfied that the defendant had by no means a fair chance of success ; and that there could be no hope of a fair and dispassionate consideration of the case. It would be recollected that this was an action brought against the defendant for criminal conversation with the plaintiff's wife ; and it was alleged to have been of several years' continu ance. There had certainly been a great intimacy between the parties for many years, and this would account for the vast variety of rumours and suspicions that circulated amongst vulgar persons of the supposed guilt of the parties, when in fact there was the purest innocence. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to refer at great length to the facts of the case, which have already been more than once laid before the public, and commented on the evidence of the different witnesses. Mr. Justice VAUGHAN—Have you any reason to know whether the Learned Judge who tried the case was satisfied or dissatisfied with the verdict ? Mr. CRESWELL had had no communication with the Learned Judge, but he believed, from some observations that fell from that Learned Judge in the course of the trial, that he thought that even if a verdict were found for the plaintiff, the damages ought not to be large, as, if the evi dence adduced by the plaintiff were true, the loss of such a wife would not be of much consequence. The rule was granted. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.) ELLIOT AND OTHERS V. MARTIN. Mr. Sergeant ADAMS moved for a rule nisi to set aside the verdict for the plaintiff in this case, and for a new trial, on the ground of misdirection of the Learned Judge, Mr. Baron Bolland, who tried the cause at the late assizes at Warwick. The plaintiffs are guardians of the poor, and the defendant a baker, who had entered into a contract to supply good seconds bread and flour for the use of the poor, the loaves to be of 41bs. weight., and he to deliver a bill of particulars at each delivery of goods. The poor com plained of the weight of the loaves, and the contractor was summoned before the Board, when some of his loaves were weighed, and found some two, three and four ounces short of the 4lbs. He then said his foreman must have made a mistake, and forgot to put the 2oz. weight in the scale, but he would make it up, and take care that in future the proper weight should be given. Some time after, the son of the contractor brought 500 loaves to the work house in a cart. About 100 of them were taken in and weighed ; they being found much deficient in weight were all sent back, and the action brought upon the breach of contract in delivering loaves under 41bs. weight, and for not delivering a bill of particulars at the time of delivery. The Learned Sergeant held that the loaves which the de fendant's son parted with were taken for the express pur pose of being weighed, and that there was not a delivery of the bread either in fact or law. On the other point, he said there was evidence of a waiver of the bill of particulars by one of the servants of the plaintiff. The COURT were of opinion that the goods were in law delivered when brought up to the door in the cart. Had they been found to be of full weight, they would have all been taken in, hut were sent back because of the deficiency only.—Rule refused. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, THIS DAY.

D RURY-LANE THEATR , The tragedy of King Lear—a play that shoulailiel,r4ls. f not acted, as Charles Lamb observes in the beii his criticisms—is that one in which Shakespeare sh ows hick- self most in earnest. In this unequalled drama, the sole interest of which is sustained by one character, aid that _ one " a foolish, fond, old man, four score and upwards," the author never once flags, never once grows weary of his task—as Shakespeare was apt at times to do—but tasks his gigantie powers throughout to the utmost, handling the most difficult, and in other hands the most imprsee ticable subject in the world, with a force, a naturalness; a directness of purpose, and uniform intensity of feeling to which it were vain to seek a parallel. When it is borne in mind that throughout the character of Lear the author is dealing with no heroic passion, or such as from its nature must command the ready sympathies of the readers, as in Othello or Macbeth, or "fimon, but with dotage in its most hopeless form ; with all, in short, which in another author we should be inclined to look upon with a pity closely bordering upon contempt, not to say disgust, some faint idea may be formed of the herculean difficulties which our great dramatist, in the full consc i ousness o f suc cess, has surmounted. Nevertheless unrivalled as is his execution of Lear ; exhaustless as are the stores of thought, of imagination, of sensibility, that he has la, yished upon it ; and direct and resistless as is the ap peal that he has made throughout it, to our common feel ings, the tragedy is one that can never inspire a profound interest in the representation. The still seclusion of the closet can alone do it justice. Such being our notion of the play, such our firm conviction of its unfitness for the stage, it was not without regret that we learned that Mr. Forrest had resolved on enacting the chief character. Our regrets, however, were superfluous, so far as this gen tleman is concerned, far all that could possibly be done for Lear be did, and in the most superlative style of excel lence. His transitions from dotage to downright insanity were marked by the subtlest and most delicate grada tions. Nothing was forced—nothing exaggerated. There was no clap-trap—no hunting for applause by a violation of propriety. Mr. Forrest trusted to his own impulses, modified by a sound judgment, and they - never once led him astray. His performance was net so much electrical in parts, as impressive on the whole. It showed all the care ful study of a Kemble, but developed a power of pathos which that great artist (from all we have heard or read of him) could never attain. The delivery of the curse— " -- Hear, Nature, hear ; Dear goddess, hear ! Suspend thy purpose, if Thou didst intend to make this creature fruitful ! Into her womb convey sterility ! Dry up in her the organs of increase ; And from her derogate body never spring A babe to honour her I If she must teem, Create her child of spleen, that it may live, And be a thwart disnatur'd torment to her ! Let it stamp wrinkles in her brow of youth ! With cadent tears fret channels in her cheeks ; Turn all her mother's pains and benefits To laughter and contempt; that she may feel Flow sharper than a serpent's tooth it is To have a thankless child I —Away, away !" vas, we say it unhesitatingly, the most thrilling piece of acting we ever witnessed. There was a deep-toned solem nity, a harrowing earnestness in this invocation, which ab solutely spell-bound the audience ; for an instant, there was a hush so deep that you might almost have heard a pin drop ; and then a tremendous burst of applause that had not ceased even when the curtain drew up for the second act. In the scene where Lear stands, unhoused in the storm, and makes those sublime allusions to the elements, identifying himself with them, we thought Mr. Forrest somewhat too cold and measured in his delivery. The high imagination of the passage did not sufficiently kindle and elevate him. His judgment overlaid his sensibility. There was also too much display of physical debility— too constant a shaking of the head ; which, here at least, we could have dispensed with ; for here the mind of Lear is stretched to the highest point of tension, his nerves are braced, his griefs have taken refuge for time moment in the conjurings up of the imagination ; and in such a rapt state, corporeal infirmities would to a great extent be subdued and down-trodden. The vigour of the mind would bend, and mould everything to its mighty will. In his return, however, to more familiar humanity, when the recollection of the old, heart-broken father thrust out from home, when even a " dog" would be placed in shelter, stirred again within the heart of Lear, nothing could be more earnest or touch ing than Mr. Forrest's acting. His delivery, however, of the line—" Not earth, fire, air, nor water are my daugh ters," was erroneous. He laid no emphasis on the word " my," whereas it is on this that the whole force of the line depends. His " Aye, every inch a king," showed, as much as anything in the play, his consummate judgment. In giv ing this passage, Kean used to produce an effect solely by his melo-dramatic tact. He used to start up to his full height, throwing off, at once, all the burden of four-score years ; whereas Mr. Forrest's energy was strictly propor tionate to his age. He was dignified, w;thin the limits of propriety. His death was painful—almost too much so—though still full of the right sensibility. His meet ing with Cordelia, too, where he meekly bows his head, and is going to fall on his knees—how irresisti bly touching was this silent grief!—but above all, his falling back dead in the arms of his supporters, heav ing up the last deep sigh of a broken heart—these points in his performance were such as never were, and never will be, surpassed. But it is indeed in his pathos that Mr.. Forrest is most successful. He has fancy—uncommon and unerring judgment —energy equal to any of his predecessors —but it is for his tenderness, his manly unaffected tenderness, that he is most indebted for his success. The audience were not slow to perceive this. and accordingly, in many places where they would have burst out into tumultuous acclamations, they resisted the disposition, solely because they were unwilling to lose any of those numerous touches of pathos in which Lear abounds. Even in the best days of Kean, we never saw a tragedy produce a greater effect, or more profoundly move an audience, than did this, last night. At its close Mr. Forrest was called for, amid waving of hats in the pit and handkerchiefs in the bores, and a tumult of applause that continued long after he had retired. Mr. Cooper played Edgar with singular good taste : be had many temptations to rant, but he wisely avoided them. Warde made an exemplary Edmund—a sort of lago in his way— and Miss Taylor showed more feeling than we had expected in Cordelia. This is one of Shakspeare's most carefully finished female characters, and moves about, like an angel of light, amid the thick gloom that every where overhangs the tragedy. A word to Mr. Forrest, and we have done. We trust he will take an early opportunity of Peking his appear ance in Brutus. He need dread no failure now. He has proved that he can play Shakspeare—and that in a ,style incompar ably superior to any living actor—and much indeed shall we be surprised if he do not give us a Coriolanus, aye, and a Hamlet too, equal in their way to his Othello and his Lear. We would advise him also before he quits England, to try an Edinburgh audience, for there his correct judg ment and manly feeling will be sure to carry all before them. We have experienced more than ordinary gratifica tion in the official announcement of the corn l2 letion of the sur veys for the London, Exeter, and Falmouth Railway, and we look forward to the accomplishment of the work with more than ordinary anxiety. It is the charaett - sristie of the present era, that the attention of our capitalizts has been directed to the internal improvement of the country, in preference to mere foreign adventures ; and we consider the perfection of the new system of inter-communication as a project which peculiarly demands the encouragement of the Government, and the consideration of the Legislature. The public owe a debt of gratitude to the promoters of The Great Western Railway " for the steadiness and perseverance which marked the progress of their labours ; but the recognition of the principle for which that Company contended, must be carried out upon a more enlarged scale than its Managers may feel disposed to concede. The south-western counties of the kingdom, must have the same advantages that have been conferred upon the north-western district ; the traffic of the country ought not to be diverted to unnatural and foreign channels ; consequently, the ge neral interests of the empire demand, that the coasting lines of communication should have the same facilities afforded to them that have been conferred upon other portions of the country. The North of Devon and Corn wall have hitherto been an isolated district—its inhabitants have not bad the power of competing with the more favoured portions of the empire. By the construction of the London, Exeter and Falmouth Railway, Devon and Cornwall would be brought into immediate communication with the metropolis —the agricultural and:commercial capabilities of the West of England will be developed; our intercourse with distant nations will be facilitated; and a general national benefit will be con ferred. We heartily desire success to the promoters of the measure ; and we shall notice the progress of their labours with that interest which a great national object demands.
